pydPiper not starting (test failed) - Wallyboy - 01-19-2024
Hi folks:
I'm having an issue getting PydPiper to run. I have had it running successfully in the past, but I cannot get it to run on a fresh install. Docker seems to be installed and working correctly, but the test does not seem to run as in the install guide. It returns to the "root@moode:/app#" prompt immediately with no error message, and because a control C is not required to stop it, I believe that it is not running. Also, I have probed the display pins with a scope and there is no activity. There does not appear to be a log file in the /var/log directory.
Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this one?
Thanks, Kent

No luck there. Does anyone have pydPiper running on the latest release of Moode? Perhaps I will have to revert to an older release.

I suggest you check what you did.
In a test here, I took a fresh install of moOde 8.3.7 on an RPi3B+ and followed Remy's installation guide.
I ran the configure.py program to generate a conf file with no changes----just accepted all defaults. I have no suitable display wired up but ran the pydPiper.py program anyway. It took some time to initialize after which I ctrl-C'ed out of it. Then I checked the log.
Code:
root@home:/app# python pydPiper.py
pydPiper starting

I tried this again with a fresh install on a different SD card with the same result. I am using a RPi4 and the 64 bit image. Not sure if that would make a difference.

What do you see if you look into its log?:
more /var/log/pydPiper.log
RE: pydPiper not starting (test failed) - TheOldPresbyope - 01-20-2024
Be mindful that this /var/log/pydPiper.log is inside the container.

That's where I get kind of messed up. I am not familiar with docker and how to navigate within containers
RE: pydPiper not starting (test failed) - Wallyboy - 01-21-2024
Well, I ignored the failed test and continued the install as if it had passed. Everything appears to work fine. I don't know why the test fails to run on my system.
Thanks for the help on this
